![]() The inspection at the nose too – all pitot tubes, statics, sevice doors, AoA sensors, ice detectors, ports are designed, the markings are high resolution, as well as the nose gear, there is everything on it that belongs to it. Open the door (great, you can’t do that with the standard MSFS jets “just like that”) and get out of the cockpit … the fine details of the stairs already put you in a good mood. The long history of development is paying off – the CRJ is designed down to the finest details and is visually convincing as “first class”. About two-thirds of the 1,945 CRJ jets built went to the Americas, and about one-third went to Europe.Īs in real aviation, the CRJ fills a real gap in MSFS: it is used to fly to small, fine airports, and the CRJ is popular for flying short after-work city hops. On 2/28/21, only some weeks ago now, the last CRJ produced rolled out of the hangar (see here). In 2019, Mitsubishi bought out the manufacturing with all patents and delivered aircraft still on order. The CRJ was no longer profitable to market, despite the uplift, and Bombardier added $2 million on top of each aircraft produced (about $25 million in sales price). By this time, however, the competing, newer Embraer 145 and 190 models were making the CRJ look “old,” especially in terms of operating costs. In 2010, another version of the CRJ 1000 entered service, lengthened by nearly 3 meters to accommodate 104 passengers, with a lowered cabin floor, enlarged windows and larger wings the 900 was now considered a too narrow tube by passengers. Once again, a stretched version was launched in 2001, the CRJ 900 for up to 90 passengers, and again it was Lufthansa that provided the breakthrough as the initial orderer, 215 aircraft were sold in total, 34 are still in service with Lufthansa today. This model is also found in the Aerosoft package. Based on the 700, Bombardier developed the CRJ550 for United Airlines – only 50 seats (30 of them first and business class) and lower weight – to circumvent requirements in American collective bargaining agreements. The CRJ700ER was implemented by Aerosoft for the MSFS. They were soon superseded by the CRJ 200 with improved engines and thus longer range, 709 of which had been sold by 2018.Ī stretched and revised version, the CRJ 700 (first flight in 1999, in service from 2001 and active with Lufthansa Cityline until 2014) accommodated 75 passengers and 2,553km range, the ER and LR variants with larger tanks and heavier weight up to 3763km. ![]() The first flight was in 1991, and the entry into service of a total of 226 CRJ 100 aircraft for 50 passengers with a range of 1,815km followed from 1992, mainly by Lufthansa. The real-life prototype was developed in Canada at Bombardier in the late 80s, at the suggestion of Lufthansa and as a development based on the Challenger business jets. That this aircraft now appears as the first complex airliner for the MSFS is charming! The change list of version 1.0.0.1 at least does not mention the small bugs we identified in the last section.Īerosoft’s CRJ has a history – it had taken seven years of development until August 2017, when the short-haul jet that was so dearly longed for by the scene (and repeatedly announced) appeared – still for FSX and also already its successor P3D. de, and it does not take the first update into account. This article is a translation from the original German article on simFlight.We are thus consistent with the Wikipedia article. This is actually not quite correct, but is consistent with common usage. The airplane is referred to in this review as the CRJ.We hope to be able to contribute to your purchase decision with our article. Therefore, we decided to try something we haven’t had for a long time: a dual review, so we can share out the work a bit. Our claim is to provide you with solid information about addons, but in this particular case, also to give you this information as soon as possible. We had the opportunity to test a very late pre-release version, provided to us by Aerosoft. The first system-deep jet in the new Microsoft Flight Simulator has landed, pretty much exactly 7 months after the platform’s release.
